Changed

  • Product branding changed from "LGSVL Simulator" to "SVL Simulator"
  • Old local web user interface is now deprecated. Users need to migrate to new web user interface
  • Old content website will be deprecated
  • All content now managed on cloud - downloaded as needed by simulation configuration
  • Unity update to 2019.4.18f1
  • All sensors are now sensor plugins - default sensors are part of user plugin library
  • Sensor plugins no longer bundled with simulator executable
  • Distributed simulation: fixed pedestrian movement animation bug
  • Distributed simulation: video artifact fix
  • Fixed wrong timestamp error in clock and IMU sensors
  • Fix acceleration/angular velocity in Apollo imu/corrected_imu
  • Fixed way of handling failed downloads
  • Fixed bugs and issues in OpenDrive HD map importer and exporter
  • Point cloud rendering: added alternative method for removing obscured points (reduces flickering, requires depth prepass)
  • Point cloud rendering: Fill scarce depth map holes through neighborhood sampling
  • Point Cloud Rendering: Fix skybox blending in unlit point cloud
  • Improved traffic lights in environments
  • Rain/clouds/lights improvements
  • NPC spawn logic improvements
  • Fix old NPC models and prefab
